Instrument Petting Zoo
Violas, trumpets, snare drums, oh my! The Pavilion’s Instrument Petting Zoo is a free outreach program where children have the chance to get up close and personal with the orchestral instruments they see professionally played on stage.
This is often the first opportunity children have to handle and experience musical instruments including flutes, clarinets, trumpets, violins of various sizes, sleigh bells, snare drums and more. The zoo travels throughout the area visiting classrooms, libraries, camps and festivals. The Pavilion will provide instruments and trained volunteers to you!
Zoo visits are subject to availability and requests must be made at least 30 days before the event date.

We're looking for Instrument Petting Zoo volunteers!
The Pavilion Partners is looking for dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers to help support petting zoo events. Volunteers may be responsible for demonstrating, cleaning and transporting the instruments. Prior music experience is not required but definitely a bonus! All volunteers will be trained on the different instruments, basic instrument maintenance, health and sanitation procedures and more. Email Joan at jdieden@woodlandscenter.org for more information.
